THE 2-1 shot coasted to victory by 15 lengths after race favourite Ballycasey fell two out, allowing Barry Geraghty to confidently steer him for home.

Michael Winters’ 2-1 chance travelled well forBarry Geraghty as Ballycasey (11-8 Fav) cut out most of the running under Paul Townend.

Ballycasey still looked to be in command turning for home but he fell two out allowing Rebel Fitz to coast to victory by 15 lengths from Bright New Dawn (5-1).

Winters said: “He came off the bridle like he did at Cork the last time and he had to stretch at a few fences down the back.

“My horses have not been flying for the last six months and I’d say there’s more to come from him.We’ll give him a couple of weeks off now. We may go for the Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary and the Galway Plate could also be a possibility.”
